Maverick was on his last day at the OC Shelter, suffering from serious injuries from being hit by a car and available to rescue only. The shelter was expecting an onslaught of strays the next day – July 4th – and needed to make room. Plus, Maverick could only go so long without treatment and no rescue had offered to take him. So, if not rescued by 5 p.m. on July 3, he would be put to sleep. Read more...

Kevin Will Melt Your Heart

Kevin is our walking miracle! Everyone that meets him falls in love with him!! He is adorable, very sweet and LOVES attention. Kevin's has his own sit and his own walk (think John Wayne!), because his stifles joints do not flex. Our vet believes it is due to a congenital musculoskeletal deformity. Kevin get’s around just fine and goes potty without any issues. This amazing little guy is looking for a very special family, who will love, spoil and adore him. His ideal family will be quieter, less active family where he can love and be loved. Might this wonderful boy be for you?
